-Jonas
Jonas is the main character and eldest child of two in his family. Jonas is in group 11.
-Lily
Lily is Jonas's younger sister.  She is in group seven and like her brother talks in a proper manner.
-Mother
Like everyone in this story it seems that Mother talks and acts in a very proper manner. Mother is the mom of Jonas and Lily and she works for the department of justice.
-Father
Father acts and talks in a very proper manner. He is the father of Jonas and Lilly and husband of mother. Father works as a neuter.
-Asher
Asher is a friend to Jonas and is also in group 11. Asher is a bit more immature than the rest of the characters and talks less proper than the rest of the characters.

-I think that the children are grouped by their ages. my main reasoning for this is Lily was talking about how group sevens visited her group to play, grade sevens are around 12 years old so this makes more sense for a seven year old.

-I believe that at the ceremony of twelve is where you are evaluated and chosen for a career path. Ceremonies like this are found in multiple other books with communities that seem like a Utopia such as Delirium by Lauren Oliver.

-I think that the government is hiding something from the citizens of the community. I believe this because in the story it appears that contact with the outside world is very limited with no child in the story ever even seeing an animal.

What is the Ritual about?
Is the government hiding something?
Why does everyone act so perfect?
Why does the community seem to reject failure?

# data[].attributes.body
This story seems very interesting. It takes place in a community that thrives on perfection and rejects failure. I believe that the community in The Giver has little to no interaction with the outside world because it says that no child has seen an animal and that kids watch in awe when they see a cargo plane. In this story the citizens of the community seem to all talk as though they are androids instead of humans. The community has a lot of weird rules such as only two children both of opposite genders aloud and they release people after only three mistakes.

The way that they raise children seems very odd. They seem to treat infants like inanimate objects instead of human beings which is just mean and they don't keep the babies that aren't perfection. I am still convinced that the community is afraid of difference and failure, Which begs the question what are they hiding from?

What are stirrings?
Why doesn't Jonas usually dream?
Why do you have to get treatment for stirrings?
Why do family units share so much with each other?

# data[].attributes.body
This society seems to keep on getting more and more strange. This society does a lot of strange things for example family units take part in very strange rituals such as explaining there emotions and dreams every day starting at age 3. I am also noticing some inconsistencies in the way that citizens talk. In the beginning of the book the characters seem to talk like they are royalty from hundreds of years ago but a few chapters latter they seem to talk more like we do, this leads me to believe that there is something different in there minds like they where brainwashed or something like that.

# data[].attributes.body
My main question was "what was the final straw that made climate control happen?" I have a few guesses for that. I hypothesise that they didn't put it in place for convenience, there was probably a trigger. My guess is that it was probably a natural disaster that caused them all to group together. I think that this chapter was over all a very strange one. It also seems that it will be very hard for Jonas not to talk about what he had learned to his friends.
